修复RHEL5添加/删除软件包管理BUG

 使用硬盘上的iso装上RHEL5，用了几天感觉不错，还差个Emacs没有弄好。使用rpm -ivh --aid始终不成功，于是想用RHEL5自带的包管理安装，但是发现Browse和List都是空的，而且List一项也只有安装过的文件。想 想：RHEL5中没有了rpmdb包，但还没有rpmdb工具，rpmdb --rebuilddb完成后，Package Manager还是老样子。再分析一下：Package Manager使用的是yum，应该是和找不到源有关。给yum添加本地软件包更新源，在/etc/yum.repos.d下面新建一个 RHEL5media.repo，填入以下内容：

Quotation

[base]
name=Base RPM Repository for RHEL5
baseurl=file:///mnt/iso/Server/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

这里我的RHEL5DVD.iso挂载于/mnt/iso/Server
这样就给yum添加好了本地更新源，yum clean all，然后再试试Package Manager，可以了，Browse 和 List都有内容了，也可以选择软件包了。但是点Apply时却出现了错误：

Quotation

错误信息的重要点应该是,Google了一下，能够修改个url的文件就在/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py中，将其中的第411行由

Quotation

remote = url + '/' + relative

改为

Quotation

remote = "file:///mnt/iso/Server/" + '/' + relative

再次运行Package Manager，安装rpm包成功
